I had one must-have when I started searching for a car a year ago: I was not getting a black interior. I hate them. Everything I looked at was black. Everything. The Ionic was offered in beige in the U.S. but not Canada. The Prius Prime was white and grey in the U.S. but black-only in Canada. All of the Bolts in my area had all black interiors. So when I saw the Kona pre-order allowed for the light grey, I pounced. Originally the Chalk white, my preferred colour, did not allow for the light interior so I went with the blue. Then, after I visited the dealer, they added added it. I feared that if I changed it my order might go cablooey, so I made my peace with the blue. It's a weird blue. Never looks the same in any two photos. I think it's more green, actually. I'm excited about getting the car but if they try to slip me a black one there's going to be trouble.
Well, here’ my story and it touches on interior colour:
Went in to dealer this pm. He said he hadn’t heard anything. I told him others were getting info. He showed me the screen which showed no evs in Canada. Then he found a different screen that showed all 9 of his pre orders were landed in Canada and VIN #s were available. Mine is now scheduled for delivery to me next week, January 16. We completed all the paperwork including my trade in. Just before leaving he told me that my Ceramic Blue had a black interior.
I had ordered the grey/blue interior. He checked my order and I had ordered grey but Hyundai had asked for a second choice and that was black. I told him I wasn’t interested in black. Luckily one of the 9 preorders was blue with grey and it was also for delivery that day so my dealer is going to give me that car.
Looking forward to the 16th
